Yeah that pitch to the outside to righties has some corkscrew type movement on it

Second time through the order, he needs to throw that pitch on the inner half. They'll make the adjustment to it and start going to RF. So he should adjust and bust them in with it since they're be cheating and diving out over the plate. Just don't miss over the plate too much.

I think AC was still out, but, yes. No way you can see the foot and the plate from there.

Your right it was close and I think he still prob woulda called him out and i could accept that if he was actually in a good position to make a call. But no way he saw anything but the ball beat him, just ridiculous

No matter the outcome, that was a terrific AB by Gomes against a very good pitcher. Took that 2-1 pitch that he couldn't do anything with, worked it full, had a good cut on a pitch to hit. Sucks that he chased to K, but that was a professional AB.

He's not afraid to hit with two strikes. I love his confidence in the box.
